    trees tumbled by the stom. I did not hear if any lives were lost in it or not. They were thunder about five years ago and there was a lot of horses and cattle and sheep killed.

  2. About a tear ago there was a very severe rain storm and it lasted for over to days and all the roads and fields were flooded. I did not hear of any houses in my locality or not. Five years ago they were a very heavy snowstorm and they were very bad drifts in it and the people had great shortage of water in it.
